We asked Tom
Lodge if, during the sixties, the two Caroline stations used the same charts. He replied: “The two ships were always separate. I created the charts on whichever ship
I was on, mostly from (the chart in) Melody Maker (magazine). We made some subtle changes, but not much, mostly from information we would receive from sales and also feedback from the audience. But that was extremely minimal.
Melody Maker was our main source. What was happening, chart-wise, on the ship I was not on, I have no idea.” Tom left Caroline in 1966 and we think the two ships used identical charts from around that time until
the introduction of the Marine Offences Act in August 1967.

Charts compiled for both the Dutch and English language services of RNI can be found on www.radiopedia.nl.

Ben Meijering's website has downloadable audio of all the records in RNI's Dutch Top 50s as well as a fascinating week-by-week diary (in English)
of the station's programme output, compiled by Michael Downing.

We would like to feature more offshore radio charts on The Pirate Radio Hall of Fame.
If you have any, please get in touch.
